It was far more effective then trying to remember thousands and thousands of individual facts in a six week course.
Absolutely great way to teach.

You don't need to know everything, or anything really. So long as you can find an answer when you need it, you're good.

Mine is more of my boss telling me to get that report done, then me sending him a copy of it, him noting the changes I need to make, then redoing it, then more changes, then redoing it again. third time is always a charm for me.

That's in the office at least. The other big ones are bullshitting clients and doing field work. I prefer the client part.

You just described my normal work day to a tee. Only in reverse.

Do you have an AT or MT?
If MT, how did you set it? I followed the instructions in the manual but I can't get the gear indicator option to pop up even though I toggle through the menu. So, I assumed it was only for AT cars and gave up.

I struggled with that forever when I was first playing with the car. What the manual neglects to tell you is the 4th button position will not show up with the car running. Just turn the key to the first click (accessory setting) push the odd (odometer not strange) button until the toggle screen appears and you can turn on the indicator as per the manual.

LOL tcoat I had to figure that out from numerous videos Could never get G on G off to show up till the car was off. However I find it a bit annoying. I like to carry my shifts and the car wants me to shifts seconds after. But I guess that's how it's done in economy mode

I am still old school and stubborn and sat in the car with the book and trying over and over. Eventually remembered the blue tooth in my old car that would not let you set up the phone if turned on and success soon followed.

This is the one I followed, pretty much the same, even for the 2016 model.
